    Re: I'm a bit confused by this thread

    I think it was a ham-fisted attempt at an analogy.

    It was a joke Jay, almost has big a joke as the people moaning about a system that 200/300 nations agree to.

    Sorry, XP doesnt only tell me things i want to hear. Maybe change to win .98?

    The only joke is the way the rankings are done. There is no way that England are the third best team in the world by any measure. And how do you know that this system was agreed to by 200 / 300 nations?

    To be the best you have to beat the best.

    Let me know when England manage to beat these teams in competitive football.

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Excellent. We'll definitely get to the semis of the next World Cup if we keep this up. Definitely. Without a doubt. We are that good. Oh yes.

    You might struggle to find 300 nations. The Olympics has 204 including a number that aren't even recognised by the UN, never mind FIFA.
